What If God Himself Made The Next Windows OS?
If there’s one thing that Microsoft has proved itself, it is that they are clearly inept in properly designing their operating systems. I mean look at Vista, something must have gone horribly wrong.

Circulate Game Review | Pinball With A Twist
I was asked by Slave Circus Entertainment to review one of their causal games, Cirulate. Developed by PIEYE Games. What the heck, I thought! I am a sucker for free games.

Sirius Broadband / Zip bd ISP In-depth Review
[Important Update] Check the new 512 kbps review of Sirius Broadband/ZipBD here. I had lousy experiences with most of the ISPs in Dhaka.

NFS ProStreet Video Analysis | An In-depth Look
EA Blackbox has taken NFS ProStreet in a new direction – the right one. The recent NFS series have been sub par at best. While I enjoyed Most Wanted and Underground 2, but I can’t say the same for Carbon. A couple of trailers have been released. Here’s what I like so far: 1. The […]
PC Gaming is Doomed | Why That’s A Bad Idea
I just read the article called “PC PHOBIA – Is the PC dead as a gaming platform” written by the Gaming Wiz a while back. Decided just to add my two cents in. I’ve been playing games for almost the last two decades or so and I can safely claim that “I know what I […]

PC PHOBIA – Is The PC Dead As A Gaming Platform?
It got me wondering. I mean, I’m not spending as much time with my PC as I used to. I admit that I find myself buying more games for my console than for PC. If a game releases on multiple platforms, I will most likely get the console version, preferable for Xbox 360. To put […]
